These are real track numbers and not corrected for altitude or barometric pressures!

Hats off to all those involed including Norm Brandes & Jim Daley at Westech Automotive, Bob Longstreth, and Marty Usher for real world testing of the Westech stroker engine! George Dean will also have some awesome numbers soon with his Westech 300M.

A 12.7 quarter mile Naturally Aspirated is what the Prowler should have been.

I agree with you Dan

CONGRATULATIONS MIKE & Krehel Racing

You just gave us all more bragging rights... Great numbers too!

Don't forget to thank Morgan the Westech Pooch! He kept tabs of all the parts & made sure everything went together fine.

I will be sure to send you the photos I took at Westech when we passed through on our way to the Wisconsin Dells event.

You're correct about the waiting for the ultimate combination. Any one of the three is a real step up but choice is typically based upon budget, hence a choice for all tastes. With Paxton no longer making their supercharger kit and more of the cars moving out of warranty coverage, timing couldn't be better.

Thanks to Mike, you and George Dean for living through the development process. I was sitting on the side lines waiting for the appropriate time. With no substitute for cubic inches, how fast do you want to go. Add the price of your Prowler and the most expensive Westech installation together and you'd still have money in the bank compared to a Viper and you could regularly kick its butt.

Do you really think for even a moment that there's a choice of which one? Its which one first. Maybe I could trade the Rambler for a pair?

Our thanks also to Mike Krehel. During the companioned development of our engines he provided his Prowler as the testbed for the initial run-in, driving, dynoing, and track testing of our engine which was gracious and giving beyond anything we'd hope from anyone.

And thanks also to Marty and Bob (RPL) for the important roles they played in setting the stage for and supporting Norm and Westech's engine development all along the way.

We've been seeing through the engine and other developments since 2003 and are looking forward to bringing it all together over the Winter so the real fun can begin in 2006. With a new 26' trailer now on hand Jackie and I hope to finally make it down to No Promise to run with the best and return a favor to Laddie for making it up to our event at Raceway Park Englishtown last year.
